Ray, County Supervisor iof the Farmers Home Ad ministration. Nearly twice as many applications are coming in now as at this time last year, with about , one-third the applications .from veterans, Mr. Ray re ; ports. i Additional loan funds made possible from, local private lenders through the i agency’s insured mortgage program was the main rea son given for the increase. The farm owuershin pro j gram is now in its 10th year in Yancey County. Since 1 1938, 57 farm families have j bought farms in this county, I or developed or enlarged in | adequate farms, through this type of credit. About 60,000 of these loans have been made throughout the country in the past eleven years. The Farmers Home Ad- I ministration makes and in- Isures loans only on farms that can be bought, enlarg ed, or improved at prices in j line with their normal eavn j ing capacity value, Mr. Ray t said. “After one of our trained appraisers goes ov ier the place, the County . Committeemen consider his findings and make final | certification as to the ■ farm’s value,” he added. I They also decide whether .the applicant is eligible for ; a loan. Chairman of the local ‘committee is C. Rex Mcln tosh and Robert C. Deyton, and Ed E. King are the THANKS We wish to express sineere appreciation for all the kindnesses shown usi during my recent illness.; For the flowers, the visits, the cards and letters, and all other expressions of in terest and sympathy we are I deeply grateful.

Loans bear ; 4 percent interest and the repayment period runs for ! 1 40 years, but borrowers re ; j finance their loans as soon ; as they can do so at satis factory rates and terms. ; j Frequently nbo rr o wers pay out out many years in advance, Mr. Ray said. In Yancey County, 11 “families j who could not get adequate [ credit elsewhere have paid ; off their loans in 3 to 5 years and are now independent farm owners. Most of the others are making steady ! progress and are ahead on repayments. ' Mr. Ha, ci-ca the case of Roy Mathas family living near Bald Creek who pur ! chased their 94 acre farm ; in 1989 and have repaid , their loan in full from agri cultural income. When Mr. Mathas purchased 1: - farm he had two cows and. one calf. In 1911 through a pro duction loan he increased both his dairy and beef cat tle herd. He now keeps around ten each year and sells annually between 4 and 6 head in addition to . approximately $300.00 from milk, .making an income of h approximately $500.00 from cattle. Also, Iris annual in come from hogs is around ; $300.00, making SBOO.OO from livestock and livestock products. Through a good “live-at ;home” program the farm now provides all needed | pork, poultry, milk, butter, and a beef each year for the family. The family uses a j spring, summer and fall 'gardening system that pro ! vides all needed vegetables for home use and canning. Prior to buying his farm hhe was renting on one-half ; share basis. It took the major portion of his annual income to pay current oper ating and living expenses, with practically nothing being saved for a “rainy day.” The family are very civic mindgeb They are church work with and for all sood com munity projects. The* bbys and girls are 4-H Club mem i berg and Mrs. Mathas is an j active Home Demonstration J club member. Mr. Mathas has been a TVA Test Demonstration farmer, and through coop eration with all agricultural agencies and good farm management practices, has tripled his farm production of all crops. He cooperates fully with the .AAA Pro gram and uses recommend ed practices. All row crops are followed with. <«4vler crops and. all barnyard ma nure is utilized. • When MrNMathas purch ased his farm in 1939 there was not a building on the property of any value.
